I have recently discovered the joy of making my own home made herbal teas. My favorite is ginger, mint & orange infused herbal tea. I love making it in huge batches, it makes the house smell amazing and our tummies even better. Oh and it’s super easy too.

For a large pot, bring water to a boil and reduce to low heat. Then add ingredients. Take about half a bunch of mint (chopped). Peel about 1/4 cup worth of ginger. I like to cut some into small pieces and also take about a nubs worth and use my microplane to really break up the ginger into the water. Then take your microplane and zest about half a small orange making sure to only grate the peel. Not the bitter white part beneath. At this point, remove from heat and let it steep for a while (+/-30min). At the end add honey to taste. I personally don’t have much of a sweet tooth so I don’t go to heavy on the honey. You can either strain it and store in the fridge or like I enjoy it, with leaves and all, hot.

There you have it. Easy peasy. Hope you enjoy this delicious and healthy alternative to a soda pop. This is my first official blog, hope you like it. I will have many more awesome and delicious blogs to come. <3
